Get ready, get set...

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Things are gonna be pretty nuts for the next couple weeks.

Things are gonna be pretty nuts for the next couple weeks.

 

Especially this week starting now. Spring training games set to begin on either the 17th or 18th. Both players and teams no doubt want to have as much of their roster fates settled by then.

[homer]

Top free agents include...

Carlos Correa

Freddie Freeman

Trevor Story

Kris Bryant

Nick Castellanos

Kyle Schwarber

Carlos Rodon

Michael Conforto

[Brock Beauchamp]

The next few weeks sure are going to be exciting...

[patrickgpe]

Can start tonight. This will bring new meaning to the term March Madness.

[Joseph Zarr]

Is there a better month in Sports? I really don't know. Things are about to get spicy. So pumped!

[Joseph Zarr]

SO, I'm seeing COVID protocols are scrapped. 9 Inning double headers return and the 'Ghost Runner' provision was scrapped - standard extra innings rules. Curious to see what other surprises are in store. Rule 5 Draft officially scratched for this season.

Schwarber to 4 yr deal with Brewers, cant wait to see that headline soon!!!! Haha

LOL. Jeebus, I thought that was a real thing for a moment.

I'm most excited to see how many trades get executed in the next 48 hours. There's no way these GM's haven't all been talking the entire 99 day lockout. There's just no way there aren't double digit trades that are done in theory and a button push away from being confirmed/executed.

MLB Network needs to just go to a live news cast 24 hours a day for the next few weeks! When I saw this thread I started singing the Eddie Murphy James Brown Hot Tub song! Too hot in the hot tub!

It's time turn on the Jets. Hot Tub is officially Bubbling.

 

The Hot Tub will officially be 'uncovered' and ready for bodies at 16:00 PST.

Not to be a downer but don’t expect the Brewers to be playing in FA until their arbitration players are signed or the arbitration numbers are known.

I don't think you're being a downer whatsoever. It's the Brewers, that's being very realistic. I will be curious, however, to see if they are involved in any trades considering the massive amount of time to discuss and pre-arrange or consider the playing field.

Arbitration hearings won't be decided until the season is started

Ok, this made me laugh so hard. I literally had to blink my eyes and make sure I was reading the thread title correctly when I clicked back on it today. MLB Hot Tub - Tremendous. It is a great skit and now I will be singing it all day again. May have to be the new annual thread name instead of Hot Stove.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I think teams are waiting on the first team to make a more to peel off the seal. No one wants to be accused of tampering during the lockout. I expect we'll start seeing moves happen hot and heavy at some point today.

[StearnsFTW]

Just gimme Kris Bryant and I'll be good.
